MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 564 The way of business
As soon as Gu Jingyun entered the room, he saw that his daughter was trying to get up with her **** pouted, but the strength of her legs was obviously not enough.
Gu Jingyun couldn't help laughing out loud, stepped forward and hugged her in his arms: "You're still young, it will take at least a month before you can sit up, what's the hurry now?"
The fleshy An An smelled the scent of ink, and reached out to grab the book in his hand.
Gu Jingyun gently opened her fingers and handed it to Baolu: "This is the printed "Qiongzhou Chronicle", take a look."
"So soon?" Li Baolu took the book and said in surprise, "Didn't it only be sent for two days?"
Gu Jingyun coughed lightly, and handed his finger to An An to play, "Since the manuscript has come out, it's natural to print your book first."
The truth was that the bookstore had no other work to do. As soon as it got Baolu's book, it started work, and in two days, it printed a thousand volumes according to Gu Jingyun's instructions.
Gu Jingyun didn't say anything, but Li Baolu just glanced at him and made a guess.
Recently, she was checking the accounts. Their Zhuangzi shop and the caravan with Zhou Da and Master were all profitable. Only the bookstore earned not enough wages, let alone the cost of maintaining the bookstore.
Li Baolu couldn't help feeling sad when she looked at the book in her hand.
Seeing this, Gu Jingyun put An An on the couch, sat beside her and hugged her with a smile: "Don't worry, the bookstore is not making money right now, but I must find a way to make it the first bookstore in the capital, or even in Dachu. ."
"Isn't No. 1 Bookstore the Royal Bookstore?"
"I will let Yunlu Bookstore surpass it."
"Why?"
"It depends on you and me, with the resources we have, but now is not the time to wait until you grow stronger and Niuniu bigger."
Li Baolu was a little ignorant and vaguely guessed something, but seeing the tenderness in Gu Jingyun's eyebrows, she didn't ask anything. Since he hoped she wouldn't worry, then she would be carefree.
Gu Jingyun took the book in her hand and chuckled, "Let's start with this book in your hand."
"what?"
Gu Jingyun didn't explain, but put the book aside, turned to pick up her fluttering daughter, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's play in the garden."
An An revealed a big smile when she heard this, and clumsily clapped her hands with her little hands, obviously very happy.
Li Baolu also hurriedly left all her doubts behind, and followed their father and daughter to play in the garden. The world is not as big as a daughter.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the heat of the day had subsided a lot. I was immersed in the orange-red sunset.
Gu Jingyun hurriedly took two steps back, but still couldn't compare to An An, who was not as fast as his eyes and hands. He ripped off a handful of flowers. Seeing the flowers in his hands, An An giggled happily, his eyes were rolling, obviously he still wanted to Destroying flowers.
Li Baolu took the child from Gu Jingyun's arms with a smile, and patted her **** gently, "Tell me, how many flowers and plants have you ruined this month? You can't walk now, so you can walk and run in the future. What's the matter?"
An An saw that she was in her mother's hands, she lowered her head in disappointment, and asked her father "Aah" for a hug. Seeing that her father only smiled at her and didn't move, she couldn't help but bow her head a little sadly.
fell into the hands of his mother, and she could no longer play with flowers and plants.
However, the child's emotions come and go quickly. After blowing the wind and seeing a few beautiful flowers, An An gets excited, and points to the grass and flowers to talk to his parents, and he is very excited. .
Li Baolu didn't care what she said, she nodded her head in response: "Yes, this flower is red, isn't it particularly beautiful..."
"Wow, this piece of grass is so green, how long has it been since Qingling and the others weeded? Oh, the grass has squeezed the flowers so that there is no place to stand..."
The smile in Gu Jingyun's eyes grew deeper and deeper, and when he saw his daughter's agreeable "hmmm", he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even though it wasn't the first time he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling from the bottom of his heart, which directly melted his heart.
Gu Jingyun stretched out his arms to hug the two of them, and laughed softly: "Let's clean up the east wing and open up the two rooms to build a game room for her, just like Niuniu's. When she can crawl, you can go in and play."
Li Baolu was tangled, "Isn't the East Wing going to be reserved for the children? If the playroom is opened up, where will the children live in the future?"
"When she's older, let her live in the front room, and we can take care of her. If she's old enough to live on her own, let her move to Luomei Garden. Mother now lives with Master in Qixia Courtyard, and Luomei Garden is empty. It's on."
"In the future, the children will all move to the Luomei Garden. If there are many children, the Luomei Garden will be divided into two small courtyards, and then expanded. The boys in the front live and the girls in the back live."
Li Baolu nodded, "That's good, then I'll write a letter and ask my mother."
Gu Jingyun nodded, "By the way, when will they come back, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be two months away. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival may be a big event. My uncle asked them to come back for the festival."
"Is Your Majesty's health getting better?"
Gu Jingyun nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty wants to sit in a meditation position. Whether or not you can go depends on the mid-autumn palace banquet."
Li Baolu was taken aback, thinking that for more than a year, the emperor had hardly asked about the state affairs, and it was all the prince who handled state affairs, she sighed softly: "That's fine, Your Majesty can recuperate in peace."
Gu Jingyun was noncommittal. As early as when he deliberately let the crown prince supervise the country and let the emperor have time to recuperate, he wanted to propose the position of Zen.
But he also knew that it was difficult, and since he was the prince's teacher, it was very sensitive for him to mention this fact, so he held back and did not mention it.
For more than a year, he has often entered the palace to play chess with the emperor. Naturally, he has long seen that he also has that intention, but he has never been able to make up his mind.
Gu Jingyun never dared to mention it, for fear that if he mentioned it, it would damage the relationship between their father and son, so he only played chess and talked about other things.
He thought there was still more to wait, but he did not expect the emperor to make up his mind so quickly. At this point, Gu Jingyun really admires the emperor, not someone who is willing to take the next step after standing in the supreme position and give up that supreme position to others.
Li Baolu also admired the emperor, "Zen, this matter can be recorded in history."
Gu Jingyun nodded slightly.
"Are you sure?"
Gu Jingyun whispered: "Your Majesty told the Crown Prince."
The possibility of repentance is very low.
Gu Jingyun squeezed her hand and smiled and said, "Your Majesty has always attached great importance to the administration of officials. This Mid-Autumn Festival should prepare some unique gifts for the officials."
Li Baolu blinked, "Like?"
Gu Jingyun reached out and tapped her forehead and was about to speak, when An An suddenly screamed.
The two hurriedly turned to look at her.
An An was very angry, and she was very angry when she talked about her mother's "creeping". Obviously, she felt that her parents only cared about their own words and forgot her.
"What a jar of vinegar, I can't forget her for a moment." Gu Jingyun smiled and hugged her in his arms.
The couple immediately forgot the topic just now.
Although Gu Jingyun temporarily forgot, but he still brought Baolu's "Qingzhou Chronicle" with him before entering the palace the next day.
"Records of Qiongzhou" records all the people and things in Qiongzhou, the customs there, especially the living conditions of the sin village, their labor, taxation and labor, one after another small story tells people how much they miss the past and their ancestors How to work hard and struggle under the oppression of the status quo.
and then succumbed powerlessly.
Li Baolu herself is a sinner, and she was even thrown into the deep mountains and forests because of the tax. No one knows the fear and panic of facing death at close range better than her.
So the words she wrote can almost be carved into the bones of people.
She hopes that people who read this book can find a way to change the living environment of the offspring of criminals. Even if it doesn't work, she warns the world not to commit crimes easily.
Especially the officials in the DPRK. She wrote a total of twelve stories in her book, eight of which involved officials. All the ancestors of the criminals committed crimes during their tenure and were sentenced to exile, and their crimes were also varied. , Gu Jingyun felt that there is no better way to express the emperor's emphasis on the administration of officials than this book.
Who is an official who does not know the law?
But corruption and bribery, dereliction of duty, and even abusing the people are still common. Why, they are just lucky and motivated by interests.
However, after seeing the life of the sinners in Qiongzhou, how many people still have that luck?
This Mid-Autumn Festival is destined to be the most frightening and aggrieved Mid-Autumn Festival for officials, because in previous years, the emperor gave officials moon cakes and lanterns, but this year, the palace sent moon cakes and a book.
Not only officials in the capital received this book, but also local officials.
The thousand volumes of books that Yunlu Bookstore only printed were sold to the imperial court at a low price before they were put out.
It is rare to lose money in doing business with the imperial court, and Yunlu Bookstore is naturally the same. Although the price is lower, they still make a lot of money after selling so much in one go.
is still at a loss, but after some income, the workers of the bookstore are refreshed and devoted to the printing of new books.
Li Baolu just handed them the semi-vernacular version of Qiongzhou Chronicle. They wanted to print it out and marked the cover with two characters in traditional Chinese version to distinguish it.
The people in Yunlu Bookstore were happy, and Li Baolu was also happy when he recovered a sum of money, but the officials in the DPRK and China were a little nervous.
Thinking of the recent rumors in the palace and the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, all the officials were a little startled.
Could it be that Your Majesty, Daan, wants to regain control of the government and more serious rectification of officials?
Before they could think about it, the Mid-Autumn Festival came, and the palace was going to hold a big banquet. The standard for banquets was relaxed to four grades, and each official could bring two family members into the venue.
Although the palace did not give specific instructions, everyone knew that the palace was to show the second prince.
Many officials were excited and brought their daughters or granddaughters of school age to participate.
